Cooling intake problem

[Sowano]

Hey, so im using a NZXT H510 case and i have a Corsair H100x AiO and i accedently made the fans in the front , exhaust the air instead so when i changed that, i suddenly noticed that my pc got like 5-9 celcius hotter, any reasons why?
 

my gpu with intake fans in the front (which should be the ideal air flow everyone has) gives me hotter temperature in the pc, than when i had exhaust fans in the front , around 80 on load

iirc that case has restrictive front intake, even the manufacturer puts the stock fans at the top and rear as exhaust, no fans in the front

 

i believe steve from gamer's nexus did some test (correct me if im wrong)

but using the stock config actually yields better temps, compared to the traditional 1 intake 1 exhaust

But what do i do with my AiO cooler? I mean should i buy a new chassi or?

Put it back where it was and pull the filter because it’s useless anyway?

I assume you have open-air style GPU. So it has two or more fans on the side as intake and it exhausts to every direction. So ofc having exhaust fan right next to heatsink makes things better.

The nzxt h500 works better with negative pressure.  The fresh air comes from the unused pcie slots below the gpu so an all exhaust config should be better for that case.
